A SUMMARY OF CURRENT CORRECTIONAL TRAINING, ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS, A STATEMENT OF CONCEPTS AND DESIGN FOR ACTION.
Abstract
THIS IS NOT A TECHNICAL DOCUMENT, BUT A SUMMARY OF THE CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT OF CORRECTIONAL TRAINING, AN ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS, A STATEMENT OF CONCEPTS, AND A DESIGN FOR ACTION. IT IS A SYNTHESIS OF THE LITERATURE CONCERNED WITH CORRECTIONAL TRAINING AND INTERVIEWS WITH HUNDREDS OF CORRECTIONAL PERSONNEL, RANGING FROM TRAINEES TO RETIRED CAREER ADMINISTRATORS. THE COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN REPRESENTS A PROMISING APPROACH TO ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S PERPLEXING CORRECTIONAL PROBLEMS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
